Has anyone figured out who the ring announcer was for the WWF back in the 1980’s at The Boston Garden? WWE Classics has a classic 1985 wrestling card from The Boston Garden. The late Gorilla Monsoon and Lord Alfred Hayes do the commentary but they never mention the ring announce by name. I have watched it a few times now and nothing….let me know, thanks.

The ring announcer was Frank Chrzanowski. He did announcing also at house shows in Hartford and New Haven, Connecticut. His day job was a chemistry teacher at Platt High School in Meriden, Connecticut. Here’s part of a 1999 story in the Record Journal of how he got his ring announcing job:

MERIDEN — Back in 1978, Frank Chrzanowski just wanted to raise some money for a class he was adviser to at Platt High School. He wound up with a second career.

The Stamford-based World Wrestling Federation put on a show at Platt, and Chrzanowski, a longtime wrestling fan, did the honors behind the microphone. WWF head Vince McMahon was at the show, too, along with other representatives of his growing wrestling empire. One of them offered Chrzanowski a job.

Its always a good thing when you see wrestlers from previous era’s give back to the fans, such as the Legends of the Ring 14 convention. Mr. Wonderful does look a little weary. I can only hope and pray that he gets healthy. Jeez, looking at the pic of The Hammer, Greg Valentine and Brutus Beefcake, I strongly think they could get in the ring at this very moment. Good Stuff!
